weaker yen? Inflation? The Youtube Premium family plan has been raised by almost 30%! | Smartphone roundup

It seems that the price of some plans of Youtube paid plan “Youtube Premium” will increase a lot.

Youtube Premium is a service that allows you to watch YouTube videos without ads or to watch them offline. It became obvious.

It seems that the new price will be applied from November 22, but if you check the official page, the price has already been changed.
So, new users will probably qualify for this new price.

Is this the effect of the appreciation of the Yen? Or is it due to inflation?

However, if it is the effect of the strong yen, other regular plans and student plans should have been raised, but there seems to be no change in these plans at the moment.

Also, if it is affected by inflation, the monthly fee outside of Japan should increase, but this has not been confirmed yet.

The price of everything goes up, so there are some things that cannot be helped, but this is a bit strange “price increase”.
